I was totally not minding turning 35, until the new grad school that I am transferring to, demanded transcripts from a school that my current grad school didn't. It includes credits that were never used for my Associates and Bachelors degrees. The transcript is 15 freakin years old =(

So, please, send me two of whatever BIjou is having, with a side of geritol.

My brother and I were both Caesarian. Sometimes I say to my friends as a retort "Well at least I never touched my mother's ******". It usually wins the argument because they're not sure what I just said, or really have no idea what to say.

Gratz on the birthday. And you're not even halfway through your life, no need to feel old yet.

How can your friends NOT respond to that, the most obvious being "I touched your moms ******".

Actually, squicky as it may sound, a human foetus does not have any gut flora that allows them to digest food. As the baby is born, its skin picks up some of the mother's gut flora that is hanging around her **** invisibly, and some of her flora enters her baby's mouth and begins the first colonisation of her baby's gut that will allow it to eat food later. So caesarean births can lead to digestion, health and immune system problems* unless the child gets some human faeces smear on their faces later.

*The immune system is surprisingly strongly tied to the health of the gut biota.

Haven't heard of that before, but it seems like something easily remedied by those pro-biotic foods.
